AI headstart succession game?

[Julius Brenzaida]

Only 11 turns played and game sent to DaveV.
Sorry I didn’t have too much time and had not a good feeling about the situation. But, no enemies so far and some gifts from the huts.

1500 BC We’re still alive ? Yes !
1450 BC Iron working, feudalism is next.
1400 BC Feudalism from a hut, chivalry is next.
1350 BC We’ve got disorder in size 2 Liverpool. Why so much hatred ?
1300 BC Dover founded.
1250 BC Brighton founded. 100g from a hut.
1100 BC Chivalry, map making is next. Norwich founded.
1050 BC Leeds founded. Crusaders from a hut.
1000 BC Due to unexpected private circumstances, King Julius passes his turn sooner than expected. Let’s hope he didn’t have time to screw it all, because he wasn’t exactly inspired today.

I enjoyed this thread sooo much more when you guys were getting creamed.

But maybe the AI is merely biding it's time?

For what it's worth EST - I have been playing this one on my ownsome - with all the advance knowledge that setting the thing up allows - I'm at 1570AD just got Communism - still last in the Powergraph and really doubting my ability to either conquer or win an AC race before 2000 - but my Mongols were more aggressive than they appear to have been to the lads ...

I have the game. I just finished playing the gigamap game, so this is next on the agenda...

In a shocking departure from tradition, King Dave concentrated on building up infrastructure and trade routes. With Bridge Building on the horizon, we should be able to make Finchley a mighty trading center. A brief history:

1000 Upon succession, King Dave decrees sweeping changes to the kingdom. With little regard for the efforts of his predecessors,
King Dave drains the royal treasury to rush build units and improvements.
975 Library in Finchley
925 Barb horse from hut. He moves away from my crusader !
875 Mapmaking discovered; Masonry next. Literacy from hut.
850 Temple in Finchley; two settlers build Finchley to size 4.
725 Hut: 50 Gold
700 Masonry, Construction next
675 Hut: Mathematics
650 Hut: Legion (NONE)
625 Hut: barb horsemen *8; crusaders disbanded . Salt (demanded) Warwick->Finchley: 24. Salt Oxford->Finchley: 10
600 Hut: crusaders (NONE)
550 Grantham disbanded. Salt Newcastle->Finchley: 18. Finchley size 8.
525 WLTQD in Finchley. Salt Liverpool->Finchley: 26. Hut: Legion (Coventry ). Hut: Crusaders (NONE)
500 Coventry disbanded

Or what . I'm trying out a new strategy for no-wonders sleazing. I hope it doesn't cramp anyone's style too much...

Hmmm, I finally got around to downloading the original scenario for the game we're playing just to see our empire from it's humbles beginning. I noticed that there is an events.txt file included with the scenario. Do all players need a copy of this, or are the events saved in the save game file making it unneccessary for all players after the first?

John-SJ

[Scouse Gits]

John-SJ - it is my humble belief that the events are incorporated into the save file once the scenario is begun. However, I am no expert and could easily be mistaken.

Hmmm, Is this game still being played? It's been awhile, so just thought I'd ask.

Yes .. I should be able to pass it on tomorrow.
